Keke Koko.

(try proverb it existent fast , non-stop...sounds similar a train)

Now I know at that topographic point are going to live on protests in addition to complaints over this. In fact , when I offset mentioned the stance to my sis O , who is inwards the nutrient trouble concern , she said , "Why practise yous direct keep to mess around amongst our traditional food?" in addition to I said , "Well someone has to , or else Samoan nutrient is never going to develop". 


And I genuinely believe this. 
Why non mix things upwardly a chip in addition to direct keep some fun amongst Samoan ingredients. You never know. The results could plow out to live on finger-licking , fork-licking , fifty-fifty PLATE-licking good. 

So , how did this recipe come upwardly about? Well , I've been thinking of ways that nosotros tin terminate purpose Koko Samoa that don't ask drinking it. Because let's human face upwardly it , the whole 'pegu betwixt the teeth' affair isn't everyone's loving cup of tea. 


So what I came upwardly amongst is a dense fudgy cake amongst the gustation of chocolate , in addition to the texture of nuts. That's correct - chocolate plus nuts. Best affair is , at that topographic point are no chocolate or nuts anywhere inwards the recipe! Simply koko.

I tested this on a friend that has extreme pegu aversion , in addition to he gave it a thumbs up. So enjoy!
